I can’t explain how deeply saddened I am by the passing of Jo. My fondest memories of Jo were my days in the Insurance Women of Memphis. Jo taught all of us how to be true leaders in our industry. Jo will be missed by so many.Edie Heffernan

It’s been several years since I last saw Joanne, but I have the greatest memory of her and what she taught me. I will always cherish the Insurance Women conferences we went to and the fun we had. Joanne was one “classy lady”. She will be missed.
I will always remember our trip to NAIW conference in Boston where we watched Cecil Betsa select pearls at Tiffany’s. We both leared a lot from her that day.
